#Believe: Evan Carmichael(2021)
Hey YoungTrep Listeners! Ben here-we're taking a quick break from our weekly programming, so here's one of my favorite episodes EVER with Evan Carmichael a year ago. Enjoy!   Evan Carmichael is an entrepreneur, author of Built to Serve, and inspirational YouTuber with over 2.9 million followers! Growing up, Evan was often labeled the "slow learner"(it took him 19 months to learn to walk) which made him feel pretty stupid. Yet, he turned things around in his senior year, even earning a full-ride scholarship to the UofT. He credits this reversal to one thing; #believing in himself. This week, he joins Ben to discuss how today's young people can employ this simple concept, with conversations on finding passion, understanding purpose, and why all humans are Built to Serve.
